Chapter 29 ⎸Clumsy

L U K E 

As if my day couldn't get any worse I spill the hot coffee on myself

" Shit " I curse 

I take the new coffee and head to my car, quickly grabbing a new shirt and heading back inside 

I head back to Sera's lobby and hand the boiling hot coffee in my hand to mom 

" See the things I do for you " , I point at my now brown shirt

" Maybe if you were paying attention you wouldn't have slipped it ", 

tsk. 

she takes a sip of her coffee, " oh and Sera's friend is here " 

" Okay  well I'm going to change my shirt because I really don't wanna smell like coffee all day " I simply respond before heading off

I hear mom chuckle in the distance

I walk up to the bathroom

" Hello ? " I knock 

" Some one's in here ! "

" Okay ! "

How long does it take the average  person to use the bathroom.

It's been 20 minutes

I can practice feel the coffee melting into my skin

I grunt before heading back to the lobby

" Stupid coffee " I say as I take my shirt off 

I hear mumbling from the distance, " Oh Mrs. Reed I got you some tea since they didn't have any more - "

" Charlotte ? " I question

" Luke ? "

" How'd you get here and how are you in Seraphina's lobby ? "

" Well first hello, second I rode a bike, third I'm her friend. How about you huh, how do you know Seraphina ? "

" She's my sister "

" So this is why you ran off earlier , for her ? "

" Yeah, I know your upset and  I'm sorry I ditched you but she - "

" Please I'm not upset, I just wished you would've told me instead of leaving me worried thinking something might happen to you "

I begin to say something but she interrupts  " Remember  communication is key, that's how relationships work, okay ? You don't have to tell me everything but just talk to me "

" I promise "

" Pinky promise ? "

I know Char is a firm believer of pinky promises

I hook my pink around her's

" Pinky promise "

She smiles, " now let's go find your mom because I was suppose to give her this tea that's probably now cold twelve minutes ago. "

" Right, uh I'll call her "

" Wait Luke ? "

" Yeah ? "

" Your shirt, " I follow her eyes " It isn't on "

I chuckle before throwing my shirt on 

" Glad you enjoyed the show ", I wink at her , " be right back "

There's no reception in this part of the hospital so I have to go to the other side

The phone rings about three times before she picks up
